Re: Off season Rumors and Speculation

Some eyebrows were raised when Indiana included Dahntay Jones in the deal with Dallas this week, leaving the Pacers thin on the wing.

But one reason why the Pacers may have felt they could do so, according to Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress.com, is the strong play of second-rounder Orlando Johnson during Summer League play in Orlando.

The 6-foot-5 UC Santa Barbara product was selected No. 36 overall by Sacramento and acquired in a draft-day trade. Givony writes that he's "ready to play now."

Seriously, where do people come off with this tripe? OJ isn't having a strong SL. What did they think the Pacers got Green for? Hmm, Dahntay replacement? Duh!

Re: Off season Rumors and Speculation

They get to keep their MMLE and get rid of Korver who was bad last year IMO. I dont get this by the Hawks unless they get picks and or cash. John Jenkins and Morrow is basically Korver I guess Kyle is a free agent after the year so not that bad I guess. They will have 3 great shooters I guess you can never have too many but if it was me I would of been fine with John Jenkins and Morrow. They basically have 3 SGs who do the same thing.

Danny Ferry just said no deal with Chicago has happen he is talking at SL in the booth.

Re: Off season Rumors and Speculation

I feel the same way, we lost Barbosa and DJ and don't have anybody to replace him.

The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
I'm (maybe) back after being repetedly banned, merely for supporting a different NFL team than do certain forum moderators.

Re: Off season Rumors and Speculation

I'm fine with not keeping Barbosa. He was horrible in the playoffs. The drop off from PG to him was huge, and it killed the team several times. I'm really hoping Lance will get some minutes this year. I think he could be a solid backup if he doesn't try to do too much.

Maybe Ferry is laying the groundwork for setting up the Hawks like the Magic is.....wait it out for a season...then make a UFA MAX offer to Dwight in the 2013-2014 offseason while getting the best 3pt shooters in the league to surround him

I'm positive on Orlando, but that DE guy is full of crap. I saw him make that comment on Twitter and rolled my eyes. Yes, I'm sure these guys just start trading players because of how a rookie looks in summer league.

Re: Off season Rumors and Speculation

What makes you think Pacers aren't going to keep him? Has a team signed him?

Pacers still have his bird rights, which he can still be signed.

Personally, I have no idea why we'd sign Players that will take away minutes from Lance. This is Lance's last season before he becomes a Free Agent. If the FO really wants to see if he's worth keeping or not...he has to get consistent minutes....even if it's a minimal but consistent # of minutes ( like 10 mpg ). Getting anyone beyond our current core of GH/PG/Granger/DJ/Green is only going to eat into those minutes.

We already are 7 deep at our Point Guard, SG and SF rotation.....how much deeper do we need to get at those spots?

I guess I must have missed something. When did Atlanta get Morrow from the Nets? What did they have to give to get Morrow?

They got Morrow and a bunch of scrap parts like Jordan Farmer Petro in the Joe Johnson trade to make the numbers work. (they may buy him out I dont know really all they wanted was the 1st rd pick and cap space)
